Here is the difference. Politician here will skim off the top or get kickbacks for a public works/ private contractor project. It might get delayed, projected completion date pump faked, but eventually it's completed.

In developing country, the politicians might pocket all of the money for a proposed project. And it never gets completed. Money is gone and the infrastructure doesn't exist.
They’re gonna be in Dubai, London, LA, or Atlanta tricking off the money.

No different in developed countries. Look at the net worth of the politicians here before they get into office and compare that with their net worth after they’ve been in office awhile. And in western nations this is the case without the outside meddling and threats of coups.

You ain't wrong but the big difference is that developed nations can make money off of socially productive activities. Often their politicians are profiting on the side but their economic means to profiting are still viable industries that create good jobs and improve the country.

Whereas these developing countries are getting all their money off of pure raw material extraction, which is far easier for their leaders to just skim the profits off the top without doing jack shyt for their nations' development.

The resource wealth in Africa is better kept under the ground until we get our shyt together. This generation of ‘African leaders’ are absolute failures and could risk giving it all away to cacs or Asians. We should wait till we have a generation that can keep that wealth in Africa.

In the U.S if you tax every person making over $100k/year for over 14 years, that's how big that discovery is. Similarly, that's about 3-5 years worth of money if you tax the entire U.S population - which is 330 million people. That's 6x more than what the United States spent on the war in Afghanistan over nearly two decades.

For a country like Uganda, that stretches insanely far. They need to do what's best for themselves, period. I'm not scaling it, but that's like if the average person were to find $500k-$1mil. That person can potentially squander it or they can change their's and their next of kin's lives around for generations.

Big opportunity for them here.

dont throw stones in a glass house


uganda has been a hot bed for white saviourism and c00nery. save for a few scholars, the government has been pathetic in dealing with neo-colonialism and the country's national image abroad.

The powers to be will never let Africa have leadership that will keep it there.
